Questions & Answers
I am wondering if this backpack comes with a waterproof cover. Or is the fabric already waterproof? I plan to use this when cycle touring. Thanks, Expert Answer

This has a water-resistant coating and top-loading closure to keep it dry, however it does not come with a waterproof cover.
